Printing from a Windows Computer

    The device must be connected to the BurmanU wireless network.

    For a Windows computer, the way to add a printer is to first run command (windows key + r),  when the open dialog shows, type \\WSPRINT


    and press OK.  If you are asked to LOGIN, use your Burman Username (including the @Burmanu.ca) and Password.  You should get the following screen (or similar) with all the Student Printers


    Select the one you want to install, and press double-click (or just enter)

    If all goes well you should get something like this:




    Select Install driver
    Printer should be installed

    If the process fails for Windows clients 

    (you might get the following message). 




    In this case, you need to import the winprint.reg key (attached to the top of this page). Download to your machine (right-click -> save as), and run it from there. You will get the following message:




    Select yes


    And yes again


    Restart the printer service  (as admin -> net stop spooler / net start spooler) or reboot the computer and repeat the process.



    If you get the error "Windows cannot connect to the printer"


    It might be a local printer spooler issue. Go to services and restart the Printer spooler, and try the process again. Another issue we have seen was related to the Avast antivirus (free version). Just disable temporarily, and drivers should come normally.
